Sounds like you are making your way through. No rush, just keep climbing up. You will be there before you know it.

I'm so close to actually be able to tackle ShB content
Just gotta deal with Ghimlyt Dark when I get back home today

>then spell speed

Looks like I'll be dropping RDM for good then.

Crit is back to scaling like shit just as with the start of stormblood. Check back in 5.2 and 5.4 to see if this changes. For now, meld somewhere between 2100-2200 spell speed and then direct hit.

Summoner > Warlock. Big ass fucking dragon. All Warlock summons are trash. Though I wouldn't mind Summoner having it's own mount

By the time you get to Heavensward, I believe they will be obsolete.

You get a shit ton of poetics thrown at you and you can use them for leveling gear which on average carries you about halfway through each expansion i.e 50-55

Comparing your DPS to other players. Offically it's illegal to use, but it's more of a "Dont ask, dont tell"

Yes.
They upped the presentation but made the dungeons increasingly less complex with this expansion.
It's not something new really they've been getting more linear since heavensward, it's just way more obvious now.

I got the caster coat for glamour. No regrets. Will be getting ring/belt/gloves this week too.

Is anyone still trying to figure out what job to main? Surely I can't be the only one, right? haha...

Can't wait until SMN gets overbuffed again and BLMs cry about not being the best again until they are forced to nerf us again.

I swear to god they should just drop the dungeons and just keep on creating trials

I mean even ARR dungeons are linear they just hid it better.
This game really needs a BRD type dungeon

Realistically you can take upgraded ironworks/shire to 57/67 somewhat safely if you aren't a shitter, but by 59/69 or when in current expansion content you'll probably want all of your tome gear replaced asap

>Comparing your DPS to other players
That's not what parsing means.

Parsing is having a 3rd party app called active combat tracker or ACT to tell you in real time how much dps you're doing.
The issue is that some autists made a website where you can upload your parses to and so everyone went nuts over their percentile and their dps.

The majority of the players don't care, a lot of them don't even know how to play their job but a lot of the parsing shit gets passed down like certain jobs being worse for speedruns are kicked from regular pug runs because muh parses.

When do raids reset?

>deleted post
but why tho

Why do you guys keep saying non stop on eden and even when you do youre pulling some humiliating 5k damage.

Oh, thank you, I've never done parsing so I'm sorry for showing off my smooth brain

What job played well do you like to see most in your parties?

4 hours ago.

Bug mac is cute

How did a mathmaking system "hurt" wow? It's successful in XIV. You queue up, you do content, you succeed. It's not complicated.

XIV was fundamentally built around instanced content
WoW had to be completely butchered to allow it to be built around instancing

Is it worth for someone who never really played MMORPG's?
I played Tera for 10 hours and didin't like the class system there?
Can someone Red pill me about FF 14?

BLM and MCH have the best glams, BLM because you look like a tried and true bringer of death and MCH because army engineer aesthetics are based

Attached: FFXIV_Machinist_Artwork.png (515x762, 443K)

assuming that is ex, yes it will be

Because the game was built from the ground up around having matckmaking, whereas WoW was not.

Not all of ARR dungeons are linear.
If they were you wouldnt get newbies getting completely lost in Haukke manor.
I mean sure you could argue that compared to other MMOs this is a really linear dungeon but thinking of what dungeons are now at least it this one has optional rooms with keys and the path isnt just directly in front of you.

In the cuck shed where all weebs belong

The people that cry about it are shit though. If you learn to play your class and want to improve on harder content it's extremely helpful

Only shitters wanting to be carried cry about it

in WoW you used to have to find groups yourself then run to the instance with the group. The massive reduction in prep/group finding time made it impossible to play it like a proper MMO and destroyed any need to find friends

So how much of a self important little brat was Alisaie as a child then?

There is going to be the Savage Eden weapon too.

you do know Pepsiman is the reason parsetrannies and fflogs exist right? doing that again will make the problem even worse

What would the cast time be with those values of spell speed? Is there a complete scaling chart out there?
First time melding for BLM and I don't know how heavily should I invest in it.

DRK is very close to being fine, what they need to do is return both blood weapon and delirium to what they were and adjust potencies accordingly.

But that's an actual load of shit
Any game that genderlocks classes is automatically shit, and any game that racelocks them needs to have a good lore reason for doing so (And lore that doesn't suck shit)

Drk is still way more interesting to play than War since they at least have an ogcd attack they can use regularly. Warrior can't even use their gapcloser as a free ogcd attack outside of IR

7 weeks of eden will get you 460, can be upgraded to 470 later.
E4S should also give a new weapon.

>surprised to hear RDM
How, RDM has the ability to dual raise people putting less stress on healers, and then there's embolden, always deserves a slot. SMN as well, beyond the rez, devotion and a party wide regen.

Or you play and have fun the optimize to keep it fun...

Nice, I don't really want to drive myself mad with Tit Ex pugging atm. I'll see if I find the motivation before the 7 weeks end

I started playing during 2.5 and I legit thought the lv50 toolkit with firestarter was cool. I honestly don't know how we put up with pre-lv60 rotations.
I'm glad they did upgrade them like this though.

Just because one job is even worse doesn't mean flaws of DRK should not be pointed out.
Why was Blood Price and Sole Survivor removed? Can you explain the logic behind this? I can understand removing Dark Arts spam and just adjusting the potencies to make up for it, but why were those abilities, one of which was integral to the DRK kit working successfully, killed off?

all 3 are based, I personally enjoy MCH the most, but its really up to you, all 3 only get so much better as you go

Neither were integral, blood price was already close to worthless in stormblood and sole survivor was whatever.
The mp regen from quietus is what was integral and they replaced that with an aoe combo that feeds you blood and mp, even though it's obviously nowhere near as strong.

Being triggered over the way the character looks to such an extent that you would come here to bitch about it and trying to pass it off as a legitimate argument sounds more autistic to me.

YoshiP will never let BLM be anything less than the highest DPS in the game. And that's exactly how it should be. We can't even give mana to healers anymore, all we are is a turret to help push through enrage timers.

Every hundred-something spell speed is -0.01s. Try what you're happy with, I like mine around 2.26s.

>RPing a Viera with friends in Uldah

The problem with DRK is living dead and TBN being garbage.

Yoshi said they're actually looking into living dead now so it might be fixed.

Should I always pop Meikyo and Ikishoten at the same time so they come off cooldown at the same time?

Is it just me or does the RDM AoE combo feel really clunky and weak?

Go AST, they will be buffed soon.

On NA it's not accepted though. Sure you're clearly talking about normal raids, trials, and dungeons but tell me how successful you find a group for an extreme trial on NA.

you have no idea, the cutscenes used to be skippable, and everyone would skip them and train hard to the next boss while the sprout stood there at the entrance. at least you can actually watch them in context now.

i don't see no point besides that you like cocks

Which is harder; Titania or Innocence?

>RDM getting minor buffs
RDM buffed? No no, BLM is the one being nerfed. It does too much dps.

How dare BLM be 4k dps above RDM?

lol

wait until you have to do this dungeon every day and taking 1 hour in each

Not just that. The "selfish" jobs need the top personal DPS to make up for the lack of utility, else they're going to be ignored by the community for a full two years

Welcome to MMO's buddy. Should have played it 5 years ago. They've made those two more acceptable for babies like you and are forcing the rest of us to sit through awful cutscenes so you should be thankful for that.

Now that I think about it, can she even see Thancred now since the guy go his aether fried or she's just guessing that he's there?

Titannia requires more group coordination so that I guess

Titania should be easier but the mechanics tie players together so a shit dps can kill a healer. Innocence is just every man for himself

haven't cleared innocence ex but titania for me was really easy

That's exactly my point, it's where it's meant to be
I forgot BLM is the only sensibly balanced job in the game

They're the only dungeons like that in the entire game

greylet expert strikes again

Titania is easier than Innocence because the fight is almost 100% the exact same every single time, excluding a couple of phantom rune combinations towards the end of the fight.
Innocence has variance; who gets selected to deal with the swords, who has to aim the 4star beam, who gets targetted with the 2star marks, this inconsistency leads to mistakes when people become complacent.

They were fucked from release. You had to be one of the very first players to reach level 50 to actually experience them, because the poopsockers started speedfarming them for tomes almost immediately.

what actually is the state of Ivalice in XIV now we've had the raid storyline? Is it still considered a nation over a world? Or is Ivalice some myth and its provinces like Rabanstre the landmarks you see on the map?

this, honestly its the delirium change that kills me the most, its literally inner release but shittier, Quietus and Bloodspiller don't have the same oomph as Decimate and Fell Cleave, especially when being spammed

So for tanks it's basically Crit > Det > SS/DH?

It rebelled against the Garleans, and then got fucking crushed by them as retaliation. Currently its a Garlean controlled nation with a small resistence.

im in the beginning of heavenward

At least you're at the good part.

no?

it's SS until you hit the optimal breakpoint for your job then DH

I wonder if they'll ever make TK actually useful. SSS basically does the same thing, but better.

Just don't make NIN and DRG both meta again, square. Let MNK shine for once.

it's not fair bro...

>LD and TBN garbage

What the fuck who actually thinks that

There's no DH in gear anymore. You can reach the critical point (no pun intended) in CH where it outweighs DH.

>TBN is a high risk, zero reward move that costs you 500 potency if you fuck it up

but no man, dungeon aoe is far more important

Titania is harder to learn but easier to farm, while Innocence can be done with a group of learners so long as the only mechanic they know is to aim the beam during the four star part.

The name Ivalice belongs to the legendary country of Ramza and Delita. Currently it's the Garlean territory of Dalmasca which includes places like Rabanastre, Golmore, Skatay, and Lea Monde.

my point is that i don't have

No, you can't yet. It usually takes the second tier to come out before DH falls behind.

It's not nice to lie on the internet user.

im sorry, the EX was tattooed into my brain I type titty ex unconsciously

I just randomly noticed that my gatherers can't use their stealth in housing wards anymore. When did that happen?

Also was there any information about no longer being able to trade in Rowena Crafter/Gatherer gear? Used to be able to trade in Handmaster Rings for Company Seals but as of ShB it's no longer possible as they declared everything Rowena as unsellable.

>>Living Dead requires the WHM to bene it instead of saving bene for anything else, or at worst burn through like 3000 potency of heals
As a WHM main, I've blown more benedictions on holmgang than on living dead.

I know, she does 4 mechanics back to back and only have 3 vril. Missing a single one is a instant kill. That's why I'm saying you can use PLD to hallowed this since she does the puddle+tankbuster+blue marker in quick succession you can probably invul them all.

If it breaks.

Titania was interesting for my FC.
We don't normally parse but for her we all had ACT running just to know how the fuck we should be playing our classes (DNC, MCH, RDM, well basically all of us were still learning what openers we could use and how to play our classes). We wiped plenty of times as we did it blind but managed to get it done in her enrage phase, and soonafter got comfy with our classes, then bantered about how bad we are compared to the pro numbers that were being uploaded.
The next day a few of us hosted a pf and had to adapt to the "pf strats" by watching tanks who insisted on tanking multiple tethers fail to do so (grou actually split it 5 ways because its fun and our tanks have AU ping), dps failing at puddles and panicking.
Then we re-hosted another pf with the description "clearing for one then farm" and got 10 straight clears with everyone being able to adapt to our newfriend messing up every so often.

TL;DR party finder is a mixed bag

Everything is still based off of 4.X, there's no updated resources, but crit becomes the best stat somewhere around 2500~, and you can easily break that currently.

If it doesn't break its not dps neutral, and that happens more than it should

>dps neutral

Yes, exactly. There is zero reward to using TBN.

>use TBN
>survive the tank buster, healer regens keep you topped
>use raw intuition or sheltron or any other tank cd
>survive the tank buster, healer regens keep you topped

The only time it's really good is in dungeon content when you can mash TBN off cooldown and give your healer some breathing room

Unlike other similar tank cooldowns (Sheltron, Raw Int, HoS), which can effectively be used to mitigate auto attacks on a regular basis, it's a coin-toss on DRK to use TBN on anything that isn't a tank buster or a big pull.

Every other tank can do what DRK does but for free instead. Not to mention flat mitigation is going to be stronger on a big pull than TBN.

SMN in ShB is super fun until you try to optimize it. Unfortunately, SMN played optimally is retarded as fuck and very unfun.

I need a mmo in my life, but I don't feel like picking up classic to run around with nostalgia goggles for 6 months before dropping it again.
Is there any specific class shortage going on in ff? I'm most certainly going to raid whenever I get all the way up there.
Will most likely put in some real effort to get somewhere.
Also, does the game have referals? If so, the guy who gives me the best tips on which class to run, and fuck off with your "what you like is the best", I'll go and purchase the full game with your code.

Feels good.

If it does it won't be like omega where you'd get a checkpoint, they said they scrapped that kind of fight design.

Well, there's always next week.

I’d be higher but the I’m holding onto the upper half of the PLD AF set for now because the Ronkan tank set has godawful substats.

More like Alex.

I know WoW had that in Legion, didn't they have it in BFA as well?

if it doesn't break, it's 100% on you

except for the part where TBN has nearly half the cooldown of the other tanks' equivalent
you can nearly cast TBN twice for every heart of stone, it's not even close

But you won't be able to use TBN as much as that anyway since it's a coin toss on boss autos while the others are not. Heck, I've seen my TBN not pop on as little as four mobs.

>i'm a little bitch

Healer is most needed right now, specifically Scholar. It's usually a good leveling choice because it starts out as Arcanist, which has both Summoner and Scholar attached to it so you get both a healer and DPS by leveling it.
Scholar is kind of weird right now and a lot of players of the class swapped in ShB because of it but it's still needed as the "mitigation healer". You can end up with too much of your resource, aetherflow, and no way to dump it so you simply have to overheal or overwrite it because the skill that gives you aetherflow restores MP. On the other job you get, Summoner is a clusterfuck right now, I wouldn't even know how to begin explaining what's wrong with it.

So far I've only done PLD and RDM, which was fucking gay and decent, respectively

Are striking dummies tailored towards the job you are playing as? I can't get past titty ex

PLD has you go back to the Gladiators guild and have a cute little reunion

>Lunchbox still doesn't change appearance to match the gun

Healers are always on shortage.
And yeah, the game has referrals, you only get mounts and some free gear for it.

My egi assaults are bound to Q and E since they're so spammable but it's still a lot of keypresses especially during the opening, and you have to double weave like a cunt.

Fitting in so many keypresses when literally all they do is hit for like 3k feels like shit. Should be rolled into one button

The 80 monk quest is all about Lyse trying to recruit the Monk teacher into the Mhigger army.
At least the 80 scholar one has you actually create a sucessful cure for the Tonberries.

Someone uploaded my stats to tranny logs when I did my practice pf ex clears and it doesn't look good at 9%. Does it measure all the pulls or just the final one with the clear?

Crit or go full DH. Personally I prefer crit since it affects healing too.

Go dila... oh wait they removed it.

That sucks. I wish they'd move on past the gladiator guild. I mean we spent the entire last expansion there for the most cancerous tournament arc ever. All the other jobs get to hang out with cool people and do cool stuff.

you keep mixing shit up, TBN is better than the other short cooldowns in dungeons because it's incredibly spammable AND it's better than the others in a raid environment because the shield is massive and mitigates both tankbusters and damage mechanics in general better than any other

boss autoattacks are so incredibly irrelevant it doesn't even deserve a reply, do you pop raw intution to mitigate 2 autos before it goes on cooldown for half a minute?

Is this stuff worth more than a good DNC?

Thancred still has aether he just cant manipulate it

Ninja's quest was legit hilarious. It was Oboro thinking he had finally got the one over Karasu and Karasu being Karasu.

BLMs also bitch extremely loudly if anything changes. I don't think I've ever seen a class as a whole, in any mmo, have such a collective sense of smug superiority.

Samurai is going back to see Musosai's grave, seeing people being inspired to be samurai and the fake samurai guy getting mad that they're disrespecting his memory by playing samurai. You tell him to chill the fuck out and that Musosai would be glad people are taking up the way of the blade and the sekiseigumi chick offers to bring him to kugane to learn how to be an actual samurai.

What the fuck, SMN and RDM are both way more mobile than BLM.

Gladiator guild is the best part of GLA/PLD though

is SkS still a meme?

>2.5s gcd

Stay seething that there are people who have fun and are still good at their job without obsessing over your shitty meta, parsetranny.

Every living thing has aether, since souls are an amalgamation of aether. Thancred and every Garlean just can't manipulate aether.

I was not speaking in the past tense. That shit ain't coming back.

It's really amazing that suddenly other players approach me and sit next to me or emote while I wait for a queue. Finally feels like a mmo again.

when the highest has instant casts every other GCD and BLM gets real close to that it's kind of fucking retarded that they do so much more than anybody else

>30s sharpcast, triplecast, swiftcast, xenoglossy, random firestarter and thunderclouds, between the lines

meanwhile SMN's only movement options are literally their dps rotation so if it doesnt line up get fucked

cry more in the cuckshed

>using triplecast to move instead of using procs and slidecasting
brainlets will say xeno and triple give great mobility, but using them for mobility is a dps loss since you won't have them for trick/bedevil window, especially when AE and procs are more than enough.

keep making shit up to justify SMN being fundamentally shit outside of a level of play that constitutes "I press buttons in the order that i think looks good"

>boss autoattacks are so incredibly irrelevant
Boss auto attacks are the largest, most significant source of damage. Are you the sort of tank that wouldn't use a single cooldown in O11S because you'd be invulning all the tank busters?
>do you pop raw intution to mitigate 2 autos before it goes on cooldown for half a minute?
No you pop Nascant Flash because it restores a ridiculous amount of HP to the point that healers don't need to touch you.

RDM is more mobile than BLM.
On BLM you are only allowed to move when triplecast is up or you have two foul stacks.
On RDM you can move whenever after your first jolt cast and weave in some oGCDs
On SMN If you need to move to just switch to Ruin IV instead of III.
BLM is the worst out of them since they can be caught in a situation where they cant move at all without being completely unable to attack.

Pretty much
You use your cooldowns to mitigate significant damage: that means Tankbusters, wall pulls, damage mechanics, etc, if you're constantly popping them to mitigate autoattacks you're an idiot. The ONLY exception to this would be some shit like if you were Solo-Tanking Susano during SB, you'd be taking such consistently high damage that the fact that TBN had such an ABSURD uptime meant you could spend the ENTIRE fight with at least one cooldown always active because TBN bridges the gaps between your cooldowns, and you'd be constantly getting free Bloodspillers.

This is still here to an extent, DRK is fucking wild because unlike basically any other tank, it actively rewards you for letting yourself take more damage and if you're not an idiot, you can abuse the absolute fuck out of it, even if a single weaponskill combo is no longer enough to give you the MP for a TBN cast.

Never say never, it's not like there aren't any jobs that have dead stats atm

Yes. It would only matter in some hypothetical scenario where the gear SkS is so low that WAR can't fit 5 fell cleaves in IR.

I don't press shit randomly, I'm just not a retard and I can manage to look at my tooltips and figure out how to play it without autistic parsetranny optimization guides.

based

Dragoons kinda have no changes.

Because HG, SB, and HG are all strictly better than LD. None of those 3 require resources or very little to heal after they are used.
TBN by itself in a vaccum is really good as a self mitigation tool, but at the same time it makes it terrible for using it on bosses. For example if seraph (random) or any one else puts a shield on you, you are literally going to lose DPS, because of how strong of a shield TBN is and it won't pop/break.

>it's kind of fucking retarded that they do so much more than anybody else
It is not. In fact, BLM is probably one of the best balanced DPS in the game. They have literally zero utility now that, their damage has to be the highest to be balanced.

Bunny crown

Is BLM fun this expac?

I don't agree with that nigger but they do still have addle. Waiting for 5.1 for them to remove it.
